Devoted pair died together, inquest hears

A DEVOTED couple who had been married for nearly 60 years died together as they did not wish to live without each other, an inquest heard.

- 

John Foulston, 86, and his 85-year-old wife Annabel were found dead at their home in Topsham, Exeter, in February last year.

Devon, Plymouth and Torbay Coroner's Court heard the couple were found deceased in their living room by family friends who they had asked to call around the previous day to sign some documents. On entering the house, a note was pinned to an inner door asking them not to enter and to inform the local undertaker.
